CIRCLE S.p.A.: to take part in 5G-LOGINNOV project

Project set to explore the opportunities for ports arising from 5G technology, receiving a contribution of EUR 296.625

Circle S.p.A. ("Circle"), company heading the homonymous Group specialized in the analysis and development of automation and digitalization solutions for port and intermodal logistics sectors, listed on the AIM Italia market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana, takes part to 5G-LOGINNOV European project.

Developed within Horizon 2020 Programme, 5G-LOGINNOV explores the opportunities for ports arising from 5G technology and proposes a strategic, innovative framework addressing integration/validation of technologies as part of an overall architecture representing a subset of 5G network functions.

In particular, 5G-LOGINNOV is supported by 5G technological blocks, including new generation of 5G terminals for future Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM), new types of Internet of Things-5G devices, data analytics, next generation traffic management and emerging subsets of 5G networks functions, for port areas and city- ports to handle upcoming and future capacity, traffic, efficiency and environmental challenges.

Selected with other 15 partners, Circle will receive a contribution of EUR 296.625 to provide consulting services about logistic processes and to lead promotion and dissemination activities.

Innovations coming from 5G-LOGINNOV project will increase efficiency and optimize land-use, while being financially viable, respecting circular economy principles and being of service to the urban environment.

Through 5G-LOGINNOV, ports (meant as both major deep sea European ports in view of the mega-vessel era like Hamburg and Athens, and medium sized ones like Koper) may minimize their environmental footprint to the city and decrease disturbance to the local population through a significant reduction in congestion.
